He saved the gods and the entire world from the worst creature ever. That creature was Hades, the god of the underworld. Hercules is one of the best-known heroes in Greek and Roman mythology.

of their side losing, they feared of getting hurt, but mostly they feared on going against Zeus’s wishes for they know what the outcome would be. For example Hera and Athena wanted to go help the Argives but Zeus the all mighty sees everything, so he sent Iris to warn Athena and Hera to not intervene. So Iris goes and tells Athena and Hera …Have your hearts gone mad in your breasts? The son of Kronos (Zeus) has made this threat…that he will maim the swift horses beneath your chariot, and that he…

None of the gods would blame Athena and Hera to retreat right away from their plans after a threat from Zeus, that’s why even Iris sounded surprised on what they were attempting to do. Countless times even Poseidon, god of the sea, has even feared Zeus’s strength. When Hera tries to convince Poseidon to help out the Danaans with her and go against Zeus, his reply was, “Hera, you have spoken a word that should never be spoken. It is not I who would want us…

Do you like Greek mythology?. No, I do not like Greek mythology. Greek Mythology is how the Greek's explained the world around them. To the Greek's, gods controlled every aspect of the world, the weather, their love life, their health, and their after life. The Greeks didn't worship just one God, they worshipped the good god's and respected the bad gods. II. The god of all gods (so to speak) was Cronus. Cronus was overthrown by his son Zeus with help from his brothers Poseidon and Hades. Once…

involve a soldier of any sort. Instead, the scene’s main character is Hera, who is dousing herself in perfume and accentuating her female charm in order to seduce her husband and brother, Zeus. At first glance, Hera making herself sexually desirable seems to have no connection to the many other arming scenes in The Iliad.

The gods are the characters that seem to argue amongst each other throughout Homer’s poem. The ironic thing is that Zeus and Hera seem to have the most violent types of arguments, and they are married.
